Broad City’s Abbi Jacobson Dishes on Hillary Clinton’s Awesome Cameo

Remember Hillary Clinton’s brilliant appearance on Broad City last season? We mean, how could you forget! Now Abbie Jacobson is revealing some of the behind-the-scenes info on the cameo, including she never truly thought it would happen in the first place.

She told The Cut,

“Hillary was the only person running at the time — not that we would have ever had another candidate on — but we wrote it not thinking we would ever actually get her on.”

And if you were wondering if it was a political statement or not, let her clarify.

“Afterward, I said in some interview that it wasn’t a political statement, which was a stupid statement to make. Of course it’s a political statement! For us, it felt like we were justifying our show in a different way — it felt historic!”

Abbi also revealed a fun fact about the episode: Amy Poehler was Hil’s stand-in when they rehearsed! Awesome!
